Girl Talk: The Perfect Man

Don't we all want the perfect man?



Sorry that this post came late, revising for A-levels has completely taken it's toll on my blogging.

This is not a movie review! I have seen this movie as it is one of my favourites and it made me think about what girls tend to look for in guys. Most of us picture the perfect man. The trouble is, we all think the perfect man is something different.

Some of us think the perfect man is tall, others short. Some of us think the perfect man is blond, others brunette. The only thing we have in common, is that we all want him.

Personally, I believe that all versions of the perfect man exist, and that most of us will find him in one way or another. However, a problem with this view is our expectations of men.

We all believe that we want the perfect man, and we do! Life is too short to waste our time on someone who isn't right for us. However, are our standards too high?

We'll dump a guy who's not the right height, a guy with a crap job, a guy with a horrible fashion sense. What most of us don't realise is that, out of every guy that we ever date in our lives, 100% of them will have at least one flaw. Why are we so quick to judge guys on this one flaw? Because we deserve the best, the one person with no flaws. But we shouldn't hold our breath, because he doesn't exist!

For this post, I'm not going to tell you how to find the perfect man, I'm going to give you tips on how to find your perfect man.

Tips to find your perfect man:

Know who you are:

This includes flaws. You can't find someone to love you for you if you don't know who you are. You need to accept yourself. Know your likes and dislikes, and own your flaws. That's right, own them! Everyone has things that they're uncomfortable about, but if you ignore them, they'll only get bigger. Once you have accepted your flaws, no one can use them against you.

Don't ignore his flaws:

The same goes for him, if you ignore his flaws, they'll just get bigger in your head. If you want to make your relationship work, you have to accept your other half, flaws especially. Flaws are what make them who they are, nobody's perfect.
 
Don't move too fast:
Don't expect to find your perfect man as soon as you start to look for him. It could take years for you to meet the person that completes you, but don't give up looking just because it takes a long time. Your only young once, but your young for long enough to make a few mistakes, you're human.

Road House (2024) | Film Review

-
Image
When ex-UFC fighter Dalton (Jake Gyllenhaal) takes a job as a bouncer at a roadhouse, he soon finds that his past is quickly catching up to him. I've never seen the original Road House, and when I put this one on I wasn't really planning to review it, but I found myself really getting into it. I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. Both the characters and the story were a lot more engaging and compelling than I thought they would be. The story sucked me in right from the beginning and I was interested the whole way through. The cast is great, but Jake Gyllenhaal completely carries the film and plays the character of Dalton really well. Again, I can't compare his performance to the original, but I really like the character. The fight scenes, which are pretty much what the film is about, are done really well. They're entertaining, but they also do a good job of moving the story forward. I think the reason I liked the film so much was because I didn't take it

The Matrix | 100 Movies Bucket List

  Next up for the Bucket List was a first-time watch. This is one that I had obviously heard of but knew next to nothing about. I found that it took a long time for me to connect with the story, and even then, while the film was interesting to watch, I never felt particularly invested in it. There were a lot of recognisable, iconic moments that I appreciated, and I get how much of an impact it had on sci-fi (and probably movies in general), but I don't know if it was for me. I somewhat enjoyed it, I understood everything that happened, but never felt connected, and didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to. It could just be that I need to re-watch it, and I probably will, but for a first watch, I didn't take to it as much as I wanted to. But that being said, I'm glad I finally watched it!

Wonka | Film Review

Young Willy Wonka (Timothée Chalamet) tries to follow his dreams to become a respected chocolatier, despite opposition at every turn . This film was never particularly high on my 'to-watch' list, but it was always on my radar, so I'm glad I've finally seen it. I liked this movie a lot more than I thought I would, but I still definitely had problems with it! For a start, while I love the fact that it was a musical, I didn't actually like any of the actual songs. None of them really stood out (except the one that's already known) and having only seen the film yesterday, I can't remember any of them. In fact, while the songs didn't hurt the film, I also don't feel like they were completely necessary. I would have liked the film the same amount if it hadn't been a musical. Wonka is a really charming character, and Chalamet plays him really well. In fact, the entire cast is great - definitely the best thing about the film by a mile. The relationship b

Scarface (1983) | 100 Movies Bucket List

Next up for the Bucket List was another first-time watch! I'd seen the original 1932 film years ago and really liked it, but I never got around to watching this (undoubtedly more popular) version, so I'm glad it was on the list. I really really liked this movie. I'm not sure if I like it more than, or the same as the original, but I definitely had a great time with it. One thing about finally seeing all these classic movies is seeing how much impact they've had on pop culture, and this film is definitely no exception. It's so quotable, there are so many iconic images, and it's one that everyone should watch if they haven't seen it before. The most talked-about aspect of this film is probably the violence, and that's so interesting to see. Not only the way it's spoken about, but also the difference between violence in older films like this and newer releases. I personally thought the violence was done well, and while probably not all of it was strictl

My Problem With '8 Simple Rules'

-

Hey Guys x Today's post might come out as more of a rant, which I'm OK with because I haven't ranted about something in a while! Last year, I started watching the show '8 Simple Rules' when it started playing on Comedy Central. It originally came on between 2002 and 2005 but I didn't watch it when it was first on. Anyway, I really got into it. There were only three seasons, so it was over before I wanted it to be. And I loved this show, and I still love it. Comedy Central doesn't play it anymore but if it did I would dive right back into it because I love a good sitcom. However, I have a major gripe with a plotline of the show, that got more prominent in season 2/3. Let me just explain the characters a bit, so you know who I'm taking about in case you never watched it. The show revolves around a family, Paul and Cate Hennessy, and their children Bridget, Kerry and Rory. In the second season, the father in the show died (due
